  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

Got to just say, I am not impressed thus the rating. After being forced to jump through a bunch of hoops just to try Elive I finally got an ISO along with additional e-mails soliciting funding for Elive, I tried to run Elive Live on a Lenovo and on a HP laptop, both are major hardware vendors and I had issues. I would expect that or better put, understand it if I was using bargain basement no-name hardware,but HP and Lenovo are Flagship brands in the PC/Laptop world. , Was the latest release even tested on anything but the developer's PC? Somehow I doubt it. I have never before had trouble getting a Live ISO to run, but then I never tried Elive before. I even checked on Ventoy's site to see if it Elive was tested with Ventoy and it was.

So i went to Elive's forum and searched on the errors.it seems the issues I ran into are old known installer problems that were fixed in other Elive versions but the issues/bugs have been reintroduced. This is typical of one man shops so it made me wonder about Elive. On the site I found this rather pointed/nasty message:

"Elive is Thanatermesis full-time work, but it is funded with only 184 USD per month. Make a change, otherwise the project will soon come to an end."

So it seems Elive is indeed a one man band and that one man is getting testy about getting paid for his work I love the "threat" about Elive disappearing. If I sound annoyed it is because I am. I have installed dozens upon dozens of distros and Elive is the only one I failed to get installed despite fiddling for hours with it only to find out it is a known Elive issue. I would ave considered trying an older Elive ISO but Thanatermesis makes you jump through hoops to get an ISO - so no thanks, I have seen enough to render judgement. Here is a thought, if your one man distro is to the point where you are reintroducing once fixed bugs due to your lack of testing or carelessness then maybe the project as run its course and should come to an end.

I am retired computer engineer from Uganda now home out of Germany. Recently retire now working to redo old computers to underprivilege people with charity group. So I have many computer to try many Linux on to get best to work and make present to.

My test of Elive not so good.

First, many step to get free download to trial, must register, must wait for link send, must read e-mail. Why is this one? What make Elive special? No other Linux make you do this way. Make sense if Elive much better than other Linux but this not so case.

Second. not install on many computer, install some but raid error on many different computer. Other Debian Linux not have raid error like be Elive. Follow error must be Elive.

Three. Not always run, many reboot. Elive just stop working.

Four. Ask for money many time. Why not just hope donation like other Linux? We charity so not good.

On the good.

First. Old look desktop good for old computer so work for purpose I do with the charity.

Second. Pretty for old type look.

Third. Easy to set wifi. Good for people who no get computer idea.

So this my review.Not so much this good Linux. Not run many computer type. Wen run m any stop working. Reboot many time. When work it nice but not work many of the time. Many better Linux for old computer work best better than Elive. Okay to trial but not good for use.

I have used Elive for months, and have installed it several times over the years. I think I know the distro and its potential well.My review is about Elive Retrowave (version 3.8.32)

Pro:
-It is stable (very stable), it has its own tools (such as the installer), it is designed for newbies coming from windows and the user account is preformed.The fact of having E16 well configured gives it a retro and original touch, I'm already tired of kde plasma. When I started on Linux, many distros had retro desktops (Antix, Mabox, etc). Nowadays it all boils down to kde plasma and gnome.

-It is not a Debian derivative with two new wallpapers. It is a distro with a lot of work behind it, and it shows.

--comes with persistence and persistence works great. It can be used on USB without problems (a new USB, if the distro is used it runs slow).

Cons:
-For someone who has been using Linux for years, it is a bit "invasive": the installer is, the terminal opens as root most of the time by default, it has not Synaptic installed, the developer asks for money.I have not been able to test version 3.8.34 because they ask for money: for me Linux is a community that grows because it shares freely and believes in a better world. Asking for money reminds me of Window$ or Apple$

-It is stable because the "new" version (even 3.8.34) comes with Debian 11 and E16...I don't know if it's a bit daring to ask for money for a distro that comes outdated, or to announce version 3.8.34 as "new" when it comes with Debian 11. I don't know if instead of making a Retrowave distro it would be worth trying new things: a free Debian Testing version, for example .If you install something that comes with Debian 11, a year from now it will be very outdated.I'm not sure Steam works well with E16 (I haven't tested it). I did do it on Bodhi Linux, with a modified Enlightment, and it doesn't work right.

-It is not oriented to new hardware: in my ideaflex 5 lenovo it does not recognize the sound card, nor does it rotate the screen in tablet mode, or anything at all. In my ideacentre 5 lenovo everything works.

I think it's a good distro for older hardware, that it's well made and that there's work behind it. I encourage the developer/developers to release a free version based on Debian Testing.
